Not everyone has a boat named after them


Last year I was going to finish one of my scrapbooks and started well and then didn.t do any layouts for months. Si I looked through my scrapbooks and found two are complete and the rest all need finishing.  I have started well and over the last couple of days have done 4 layouts so will see if I can continue the good work.

This is me aged 5.  Can you imagine a child having bows in her hair like that nowadays.  My Dad was into model boats and maned this one after me.  I used various papers, MFT stitched ricrac die and a Spellbinders star die. 

 I found the little doily in a pack I bought in America along with some vintage tickets from Craftwork Cards bought at a show.  The kraft words are Tim Holtz.  The paper bow is from Hobbycraft and flowers from America. Looking at ideas on Pinterest I realised that pages don't always need a title so this one doesn't have one.

It's a beautiful Page Marianne, a lovely layout and design. You were a real cutie at 5 years old, and you're so right, no child would have bows like these nowadays, mind you back in the day little girls looked like little girls, Kate x

A super layout Marianne, at least we looked like children in those days, not like mini adults.

A Beautiful photo, I used to have bows and ringlets too, with a bit of added wet soap to keep the waves in place hahaha. Love your Dad made the boat and named it after you, a beautiful layout.
